Background: We aimed to contribute to the literature by exploring the possible relationship of PV with erectile dysfunction (ED), as in atherosclerosis-based vascular diseases.
Methods: Between October 2021 and December 2022, 99 patients who applied to the urology polyclinic with a complaint of ED were included in the study (Group 1). Fifty-two patients who applied with a complaint other than ED constituted the control group (Group 2).
Purpose: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), and monocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) in predicting response to a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5i) when used as the first-line medical treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED).
Materials And Methods: This study prospectively included 185 patients who were diagnosed with ED and started PDE5i treatment. After PDE5i treatment, 107 (57.
Purpose: Since some urological diseases are age-dependent, these patients are admitted to urology wards for treatment more frequently as an inevitable result of aging. In this study, the urological hospitalization reasons and outcomes patients in octogenarian and nonagenarian age groups were evaluated in comparison with younger adult patients.
Methods: After examining a total of 5615 urology ward admissions of individuals aged 18-99 years, we included 443 (7.
Objective: To evaluate the association of ureteral wall thickness (UWT) with spontaneous passage (SP) of ureteral stones and formation of ureteral stricture (US) in patients who underwent ureterorenoscopy for ureteral stones.
Study Design: Cohort study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Urology, University of Health Sciences, Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital, Turkey, between January 2019 and June 2021.
Purpose: To evaluate whether there were any changes in the rates of urinary tract infection (UTI) and antibiotic resistance in pediatric patients during the pandemic period.
Materials And Methods: Urine culture samples collected due to suspected UTI were searched retrospectively from our hospital database, and the patients with growth in urine culture were identified. They were divided into 2 groups as Group A (before COVID-19, March 11, 2019- March 11, 2020) and Group B (COVID-19 period, March 11, 2020- March 11, 2021).
